# MSTEST0039: Use newer 'Assert.Throws' methods
15+
16+
| Property | Value |
17+
|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
18+
| **Rule ID** | MSTEST0039 |
19+
| **Title** | Use newer 'Assert.Throws' methods |
20+
| **Category** | Usage |
21+
| **Fix is breaking or non-breaking** | Non-breaking |
22+
| **Enabled by default** | Yes |
23+
| **Default severity** | Info |
24+
| **Introduced in version** | 3.8.0 |
25+
| **Is there a code fix** | Yes |
26+
27+
## Cause
28+
29+
The use of <xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.Assert.ThrowsException*?displayProperty=nameWithType> or <xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.Assert.ThrowsExceptionAsync*?displayProperty=nameWithType>, which are no longer recommended.
30+
31+
## Rule description
32+
33+
<xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.Assert.ThrowsException*?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.Assert.ThrowsExceptionAsync*?displayProperty=nameWithType> are not recommended and might be deprecated in the future.
34+
35+
## How to fix violations
36+
37+
Use `Assert.ThrowsExactly` or `Assert.ThrowsExactlyAsync` instead of `Assert.ThrowsException` or `Assert.ThrowsExceptionAsync`.
38+
39+
## When to suppress warnings
40+
41+
Do not suppress a warning from this rule. It's strongly recommended to move from the old APIs to the new ones.

24+
| **Introduced in version** | 3.8.0 |
25+
| **Is there a code fix** | No |
26+
27+
## Cause
28+
29+
The use of any assertion method in an `async void` method, local function, or lambda.
30+
31+
## Rule description
32+
33+
Exceptions that are thrown in an `async void` context are unhandled. A failing assertion in an `async void` method will be swallowed and will not crash the process when using VSTest under .NET Framework. Under .NET, a failing assertion in an `async void` method might crash the process when using Microsoft.Testing.Platform or VSTest. In cases where a custom `SynchronizationContext` is present that catches the exception, the failing assertion might be silently swallowed.
34+
35+
## How to fix violations
36+
37+
Refactor the code to not use assertions in `async void`.
38+
39+
## When to suppress warnings
40+
41+
Do not suppress a warning from this rule.
